(June 20 2019) “Go where you most feel alive.” Today’s “adventure” is starting from the Sparks road parking lot. We are here early, thanks to the heat and humidity index for later. Both of us rather take the 60s. Nice shady spot in front, since only 4 cars are present. Good to be an earlyContinue reading “NCR – Sparks rd to Corbett rd”

“I could never resist the call of the trail.” Buffalo Bill Starting at this point on NCR requires us to come early. This small lot fills up fast. It’s 7:30 which I consider late….even though it takes us a 30 minute drive to get here. Only a few cars present and no one on theContinue reading “NCR – Phoenix rd to Sparks rd”

“Sometimes, the shortest path between two points is serpentine.” Christopher Benfey Got up early today as usual. Thanks to Mag. Got to the visitor center at 8, even though this environmental area only opens at 9am. Since the gate was open we took liberty to drive up the road and park Yoda in our usualContinue reading “Soldiers delight – Serpentine trail”

“It’s all about convenience. You have remote access to everything.” Kevin Marquess Convenience = location close to home won out today. We have parked at the main parking area again on Eagle dr. There is a little path from here on the left side of the tennis courts. But we are not going to useContinue reading “Leakin Park II”

NCR trail – Paper Mill rd to Phoenix rd Love the sight of an almost empty parking lot on a Sunday morning. Thanks to the dreary weather today, people stayed in bed I guess. This is sort of the beginning of NCR. The main parking lot is on the left side on Paper Mill rd.Continue reading “Solituday”

(North Central Railroad trail AKA Torrey C. Brown Rail trail) This is the first of several NCR walks we’ll do and one of my favorites. About a 20 minute drive on I83 north from Hunt Valley. Far enough from the city that most people don’t bother coming up this far. Parking area is on FreelandContinue reading “NCR – Freeland to McCullough”

“Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.” I was telling Mag that I will sleep in. His dad let him out at 5 in the morning so in my opinion there was no reason for waking me up at 7am. He did anyway…. This morning we’ll check out Lake Roland ParkContinue reading “Sleepy Saturday”

It’s Friday! Time to go make stories for Monday. Unfortunately that’s all we gonna accomplish today thanks for the packed schedule. We only did a super short walk and forgot to record it….this morning was a mess! But here is a short video of Mag enjoying high grass. TTT = Ta-ta ’till tomorrow! Have funContinue reading “Woo hoo! As promised.”

“HAPPY THURSDAY! Sorry, but I am saving my “woo-hoo!” for friday.” We are sort of fresh and ready take on today, after a whopping – less than – 6 hours of sleep. I was trapping a mouse in our bedroom – this is a first in 19 years being in this house – until midnight.Continue reading “Thursday. It’s Friday eve!”
